Obama hits out at ‘dangers’ of cancel culture, jokes about critical race theory, and says 'right-wing media' stoking fear in white Americans

Former President Barack Obama said this week that he believes cancel culture has become a dangerous social plague upon America and that "certain right-wing media venues" are stoking "fear and resentment" among America's white population.

During a wide-ranging special titled "Barack Obama on Fatherhood, Leadership, and Legacy," the former president also joked about critical race theory and suggested Republicans should be more concerned with climate change and the country's economy.

'We're just going to be condemning people all the time'

During the Monday night special, Obama told CNN's Anderson Cooper that he believes people today are going overboard with cancel culture.
"At least in conversations with my daughters, I think that a lot of the dangers of cancel culture are that we're just going to be condemning people all the time, at least among my daughters they will acknowledge sometimes among their peer group or in college campuses you'll see folks going overboard," he said.
